Try rolling/scrunching the sleeve up too -- nice for showing off a pretty blouse sleeve or bracelet. I don't know why, but showing a little forearm helps the look of a lot of outfits. </p> <p>I almost never button my denim jackets up, or when I do, it's just a couple of buttons with a scarf over to keep the chill out. I hear you about that darn bottom button. I have the same issue as CocoLion even though I'm 5'7"! All legs, little torso, sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827367 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:04:13 +0000 Tina.b 827367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so into this colour right now and the shape of #1 looks just fantastic on you. Definite keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827364 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:00:43 +0000 Suz 827364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great on you, Thistle! Terrific choice. Your patience with shopping is really paying off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827301 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:34:45 +0000 Jules 827301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped - I agree! Was not loving the green blazer, but this (smaller size) is totally cute. I'm virtually/vicariously excited for you about this purchase, Thistle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827232 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 05:10:14 +0000 AJ 827232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 for the win! </p> <p>How funny that colored denim is allowed during the week. That green looks lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827179 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:45:02 +0000 unfrumped 827179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so liking this on you better than the green blazer style. Someone else may have to figure out why. It looks much more happy. The blazer seemed to bring you down somehow--too plain and mannish somehow. You look much spunkier in this.<br /> It looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827153 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:12:18 +0000 Susie 827153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the jacket in the first pic is the most flattering. I love that color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827092 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:23:24 +0000 Aida 827092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 unbuttoned looks brilliant! I don't think it's necessary for a denim jacket to button up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827084 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:17:25 +0000 Angie 827084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1! VERY flattering. No need to button the jacket and no need to try a petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827063 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:42:24 +0000 cinnamon fern 827063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I would definitely try a petite jacket - worth an experiment at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827041 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:11:32 +0000 CocoLion 827041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I count my extra half inch too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827033 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:00:38 +0000 Thistle 827033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion, I am under 5'7" </p> <p>I am about 5'5.5" Yes, I am counting that extra 0.5 inch! I am starting to wonder about ordering petite tops. When I tried them in knits, everyone liked them much better.</p> <p>I had always thought I had short legs, and since joining YLF, I learned, no, I do not have short legs. I was just wearing my pants more than a little too short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827031 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:57:37 +0000 Karie 827031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 unbuttoned. Love the green color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827028 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:54:25 +0000 CocoLion 827028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the smaller fit and agree with everyone else on the color!</p> <p>I am wondering, are you on the petite side? Or at least, under 5'7"? I have a common problem of jackets not buttoning at the bottom (or if it's a low stance jacket with one button, it pulls). I have realized it is because I am short (5'3.5") and have a short torso. If I had a normal length torso, the button/s would hit higher and therefore I could button them without any pulling. So... have you tried a petite jacket? Your build looks similar to mine -- shorter torso, longer legs, hourglass/pear type shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827027 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:53:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 827027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green &amp; the smaller jacket undone as long as it feels comfortable:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827018 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:45:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 827018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll leave the fit issues to the experts but I just wanted to say that the green is positively gorgeous on you Thistle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827002 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:30:49 +0000 krishnidoux 827002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit on 3 and 4 is better. It's more structured and looks more comfortable too. This is a fantastic little denim jacket you have gotten there. It looks very flattering on you, and I would keep it. I agree that what you are wearing goes really well with it. If you find the sleeve too long or too wide to scrunch, have it altered, it's an easy and cheap alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-827001 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:29:59 +0000 Astrid 827001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the first one and unbuttoned! It looks great. I could button the denim jackets I have, but I never do it anyway. I think it's alright if you only wear it open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-826999 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:28:17 +0000 K. Period. 826999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 unbuttoned. I like that 2 can button, but the extra fabric makes it look really casual, versus the more fitted 1. So, of them, I would keep 1. However... have you considered a more cropped length denim? I have a regular denim coat, but last year bought a cropped one from American Eagle. I was surprised how different they can look layered over an outfit. A cropped length might let you have a fitted one that buttons all the way. Or it may not work at all. I have no idea. I don't think I've ever seen you in anything cropped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-826992 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:21:52 +0000 stlramschick76 826992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like picture 1. It shows more of your wrist which you can put on a bracelet to make the color of the jacket pop! Unbuttoned though. The shirt you're wearing goes really well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nudge-towards-denim#post-826986 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:15:40 +0000 Thistle 826986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie gave me a gentle nudge to look into a denim jacket, and I did. I definately like the additional structure denim gives. I selected a green denim as a nod to colored denim as well as green denim could be worn any day of the week at work while blue is only allowed on Fridays. Odd, I know, but there it is!</p> <p>Pics 1&amp;2 are one size. I think it looks good unbuttoned but I can't button the bottom button over my hips and the second to last button pulls. I could not wear this jacket buttoned, basically.</p> <p>Pics 2&amp;3 are the next size up. I am not sure it fits as well through the shoulders, but it does button completely.</p> <p>I know we sometimes say jackets don't need to button up and should be worn unbuttoned, so I am looking to see which one, if either, you lovely ladies think I should keep or if I should return them both! </p>
